Dorvish Navy travels to Ostland for exercises
September, 4491

Königborn, Kronhofen Province, Ostland - The Dorvish Navy, lead directly by Inspector of the Dorvish Navy Admiral Konrad Hans-Georg von Schleskau, has conducted a series of naval warfare exercises in the Sea of Carina with the Ostland Navy. The exercises were planned in advance in August, 4491 with the Landwehr General Staff. Dorvik, since the return of the All-Dorvish League, has invested heavily in Ostland seeing Ostland as a close ally in the region as well as one of the more stable states in Dovani following the Dovani War. The war games included paradrops, rapidly becoming a favorite of both the Dorvish and the Ostlander militarys; the Dorvish have heavily inspired the airborne field of attack through a rigorous training program and the highly elite Fallschirmjager forces which have been emulated across Terra. Alongside airborne drops, the exercises included beach landings as well as counter-insurgency training in which the Dorvish and Ostlander militarys became leading theorist. War games are expected to take place in the summer of 4492 and focus more on land warfare techniques.

Dorvish Minister of Trade and Industry Thaddäus Florian von Desidier signed several trade deals over the course of the past seven weeks with Ostland and ensured that the Dorvish and Ostland economic relationship increased overtime, including listings of the Wolfsheim Stock Exchange on the Haldor Stock Exchange and Wasse am Kas Mercantile Exchange which has boosted the investment into several dozen Ostland companies. While it might seem that the Dorvish would be biased towards the northern portion of the country, where mostly Hulstrians and Dundorfians reside the State Chancellor Volker Regismund von Rohr-Mauss has also announced a 50b Dolgar investment into southern Ostland, where it is mainly Kunihito in the semi-autonomous Touryou State. The Dorvish rely on foreign imports of food from neighbors and allies during the harsh winter months up north, despite the fact that the very southern portion of Kordusia and the provinces of Largonia and Miktar are often incredibly fertile for the warmer months. Southern Ostland is incredibly fertile and is home of many agricultural fields whereas the northern and central portion of Ostland tend to be more industrial.

No tolerance for a backwards Dundorf
January, 4493

Haldor, Kordusia - Dorvish State Chancellor Volker Regismund von Rohr-Mauss slammed Dundorf for the re-introduction of slavery and treatment of minority “races”. The State Chancellor noted that these values were not “Dundorfian” and the Dorvish Republic will likely be pursuing actions against Dundorf, once a former part of the Dundorfian Reich.

Dundorf is considered to be a weaker middle power with a somewhat average economy; Dorvik is one of its largest trading partners and the reintroduction of slavery and a racist system of government will likely hurt its overall economy and position in Artania. State Chancellor Rohr-Mauss noted that he would not allow Dorvish values to be stained by the poor decisions of the government in Dundorf.

In the normal session of the State Security and Defense Council the State Chancellor announced sanctions would be presented to the State Council “as soon as possible”. Dorvik and Dundorf are culturally linked and many former leading Dundorfian nobles Feld Dundorf during the DDR era which lead to a massive capital flight to Dorvik and enhanced Dorviks already powerful economy. While the Dundorfian nobility do not retain much in the way of land anymore, they are and have been linked to several hundred large corporations such as Artania Bank and the now private Reichsbank, the former state bank of Dundorf.

Notable nobles have served in the government in Dorvik and have gained Dorvish citizenship due to law allowing the return of ethnic Dundorfians to Dorvik. Dorvik, once a leading state in the Dundorfian Reich, now is the leading Dundorfian State and has been for quite sometime now. Many believe that Dorvik is the true inheritor of the Dundorfian Reich and it’s legacy, as much of it’s legacy came from Dorvish military prowess.

Artania is headed towards a crisis once again and with Dorvish regional leadership back, it is quite possible that the situation might resolve itself. It is quite possible that Dorvik will ease the situation by allowing immigration to be easier for Volksdundorfische, something they’ve previously done in the past.

President Wagener Meets Governor-General Of Vascania
March, 4493

Ussendorf, Miktar - President Eugenie Wagener met with the Governor-General of Vascania, Amandara Adwani, today in a meeting held in the President's secondary home in the suburbs of Ussendorf. The meeting has been planned for some time, but Adwani has recently been busy with social and economical reforms in her home country. Wagener and Adwani discussed issue regarding lifting Dovani nations out of poverty, creating a fairer immigration system, incentivising investment in developing economies and increasing second-language abilities in each country. No official agreement between both parties was signed, but there was a strong sense communicated from both teams that the talks had been 'productive', as one Dorvish staffer said to a Miktar-based newspaper, as well as 'insightful', as a Vascanian staffer told DNS.

Wagener is understood to have told Adwani that the Dorvish government 'unanimously' believes that Dorvik has a role to play in international development, on the side of good. The Dorvish head of state is believed to have came down strongly on the side of a continuing dialogue between Dorvik and nations across the ocean to the west, which she is known to previously called 'a major opportunity for the Dorvish economy'. Adwani, for her part pushed Wagener to commit to a Dorvish government investment in infrastructure development in southern Kalkalistan, which Adwani said would be a net positive for Dorvish businesses manufacturing products in Vascania and the importing them back to be sold in Dorvik. While Wagener didn't commit to a government investment, she is thought to have told her fellow female world leader that Dorvish businesses are 'very eager to invest privately in the development of Vascania'.

Wagener will now go back to her government and cabinet in order to talk about potential deals in investment in the Dovani continent and its nearby continents, especially considering the high number of rapidly developing economies that provide an opportunity for a major return on investment - on the one hand - and the great number of ethnic Dorvish living in the area. On the issue of ethnic Dorvish in Dovani and the general east, Wagner has previously praised Ostland for 'upholding human rights, equal rights and inter-ethnic peace and stability', while simultaneously calling for an 'international protection for the rights of native people to self-determination'. Adwani will likely spin the talks back in Vascania as proof that her government's radical plan of drastically increased healthcare and education spending can be bankrolled by the investment and taxation brought from a growing relationship with the West.

Dorvish State Chancellor laughs off Dundorfian extremist
July, 4493

Haldor, Kordusia - State Chancellor Volker Regismund von Rohr-Mauss laughed off comments made by the "Federal Chancellor" of Dundorf, Juliana Klasen. The State Chancellor noted that Dundorf was going to drown itself in racist, backwards and incredibly dictatorial policies. Rohr-Mauss likened the "democratically elected regime" in Dundorf to a return to the Dundorfian Democratic Republic, the communist government that sent Dundorf back to the stone age. Rohr-Mauss spoke to press outside the State Chancellery earlier regarding the subject. "It's abundantly clear that the Dundorfian regime is trying to deflect and mitigate the fact that it has introduced racist, backwards and quite frankly illegal measures. Dorvik, as the continents largest economy will easy put a further dent in the Dundorfian economy with upcoming sanctions. A landlocked, small nation should not be quite frankly...pissing off it's neighbors, especially ones who support it financially." Rohr-Mauss also noted that the "Law of Return for Ethnic Dorvish and Invitation for Ethnic Dundorfians, and Duntrekkers" was being placed back before the State Council and would help Dundorfians and Volksdundorfische to return to Dorvik if necessary to flee the damning and illegal situation in Dundorf.

In other news the Dorvish General Election of July, 4493 brought somewhat unsurprising results. The All-Dorvish League came in second to the Pragmatic Liberal Democrats, their coalition partner and Eugenie Wagener was elected to a second term as President of the Dorvish Republic. State Chancellor Rohr-Mauss, who serves as the Chairman of the ADV, congratulated the President and welcomed continued cooperation with the PLD despite some ideological differences. A minor Council of Ministers shuffle might come underway but overall will likely remain the same in most aspects, it is expected that Minister of the Interior Felix Leon von Auspitz-Topol will be ousted in favor of a PLD candidate but will remain within the apparatus of the Interior Ministry, likely as a State Secretary or possibly moving to the more independent State Security Main Office where he might look to radically overhaul the organization. Despite the loss the All-Dorvish People's Council, the body that elects the the ADV's senior leadership retained almost all of the leadership within the ADV. It should also be noted that a number of candidates of the VDKV's Political Leadership Corps were elected as candidates while running for the both the State Council and local office.

Inspector-General announces Supreme General Staff changes
April, 4495

Haldor, Kordusia - Inspector-General and Chief of the Supreme General Staff Generaloberst Wilhelm Herschel announced that the Defense Law Research Office, previously a full department of the SGS would be made an office of the General Department. The most important change however is that the Rear Area Command Department was elevated to a full department, traditionally Rear Area Command's were used in specific geographic locations but it will now be centralized and underneath the direction of the Generalquartiermaster, which in other armies usually means the officer in charge of supply but in this case will be responsible for rear area security, installation and administration of civil and military governments, lines of communication as well as the recent, formal creation of the Military Railway Troops, which fall underneath the direct scope of the Rear Area Command Department alongside the Dorvish Feldjäger which were placed underneath the Rear Area Command when operating in a conflict zone.

The Chief of the Rear Area Command (known more commonly in Dorvik as the Generalquartiermaster) will be responsible for the appointment of the Commander of the Military Railway Troops as well as have oversight elements of the Dorvish Feldjäger, even when not in a conflict zone due to the nature of the Rear Area Command Department's duties. The Dorvish have a long history with railroads and it was one of the primary reasons that Dorvik was able to economically grow so rapidly during the Dundorfian Reich era; something that the Dorvish have not forgotten and have maintained a world leading railway and have built hundreds of thousands of miles of railway worldwide.

Flashpoint Dovani
April, 4495

Haldor, Kordusia - Foreign Minister Eckhart Röhr, the Dorvish statesman who has defined Dorvish foreign policy for the past decade, has noted that Dorvik may have its first test in the flashpoint in Dovani. Speaking with Chief of the Foreign Defense Office, Admiral Konstantin Mohnhaupt (Dorvish Navy), the Foreign Minister noted that the Dorvish were interested in the leading role that Ostland had in leading the charge against both Dundorf, Utari Mosir and other racist regimes in Dovani. While the Dorvish have not ruled out intervention in Dovani, the first foray for them into Dovani since the Dovani War, they have kept relatively away from the situation aside from passing sanctions on Utari Mosir and likely more sanctions forth-coming. Foreign Minister Röhr noted that the Kazulian threat of "vetoing" was dangerous to the stability of the World Congress and that the Dorvish would be keen on intervention without Security Council approval and would likely approach Lourenne regarding cooperation on Dovani.

Dorvik, which was once ranked as one of the most powerful economies and political powers in the world, has taken a hit due to domestic issues but the return of the All-Dorvish League, in cooperation with the Pragmatic Liberal Democrats, have brought Dorvik back to the forefront of world affairs. Dorvik announced logistical and arms support for Ostland, Chief of Foreign Defense Office Admiral Mohnhaupt noted that the Dorvish and Ostlander governments have agreed to multi-billion dollar arms deals over the past several years and these would continue. The Dorvish Armed Forces have provided training and material support to the Ostland Landwehr where many Dorvish officers are finding themselves attached to, including support for the VDKV's Security Service, a state-sponsored paramilitary service in both Dorvik and Ostland.

Inspector-General and Chief of Staff Generaloberst Wilhelm Herschel has worked with President Wagener to direct the Lievenian Sea Fleet to Dovani, where it is currently located in the Sea of Carina conduct sea trials as well as training with the Ostland Navy. The presence of the Kaiser-class aircraft carrier, the DNS Heike Grossberg will likely be a reminder that despite "rankings" the Dorvish Armed Forces are a force to be reckon with and have been incredibly active in the past decade and are keen to re-capture their spot on the top.

Dorvish working outside of Security Council to manage Dovani situation
April, 4500

Haldor, Kordusia - Foreign Minister Eckhart Röhr announced earlier last year that Dorvik was exploring all options when it comes to the rise of radical regimes in Dovani; one of them was circumventing the Security Council of the World Congress and working outside of it due to Kazulia, which has announced general support for Utari Mosir and other regimes in Dovani. Foreign Minister Röhr noted that the Dorvish government was actively exploring all options and had come to the conclusion that the body of the Security Council would need to be circumvented in order to protect "...world peace, order, prosperity and stability." The Dorvish have condemned over the past several decades, numerous governments such as nominal ancestral ally Dundorf, Utari Mosir and most recently Kanjor for their re-introduction of slavery. The Kanjorian topic was paraded around when Foreign Minister Röhr, who has become one of the most veteran Dorvish statesman over the past several years, blasted Kanjor and noted that the Dorvish government would be launching a human rights investigation into the Kanjorian situation and if found to be proper, sanctions would be levied.

Dorvik is continually ranked as one of the strongest economies in the world, a leading oil and petrochemical producer as well as one of the world's leaders in timber and timber related products. It also boasts an impressive shipbuilding and shipping industry out of cities such as Fairfax, where a large swathe of trade with Artania goes through. Dorvish sanctions traditionally focus on major profit centers for nations that cross its path, while Dorvik has suspended essential goods (such as medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and food products) they are not opposed to a total suspension of trade such as the sanctions levied against Utari Mosir. Dorvik has also begun providing material support to ally Ostland, which has been the staging point for many Dorvish investments and has served as a point of Dorvish influence into the so-called "Third World". Ostland, despite a limited economy in the past, has slowly become one of the leading Dovani states through aggressive state building and an impressive economic turn around over the past several centuries since independence from Hulstria and Gao-Soto.

Rumors and unofficial reports have announced that Dorvik is aligning with nations such as Lourenne, Vanuku and perhaps others such as a resurgent Luthori in Southern Artania to form a new alliance out of the ashes of the Northern Council which once served as the domineering alliance of the time. Despite the stance that the Security Council present problems, Röhr openly stated that the World Congress as a whole provided a forum for all nations and that once and a while nations might have to act outside of it to ensure the betterment of humanity and the preservation of human life.

Dorvish Armed Forces dispatch units to Ostland to assist in training and material support
September, 4500

Haldor, Kordusia - State Chancellor Volker Reigmsund von Rohr-Mauss announced that the Dorvish Armed Forces were dispatching the Lievenian Sea Fleet with the Kaiser-class aircraft carrier DNS Heike Grossberg at its helm, one of the first major overseas operations of the aircraft carrier. The Dorvish Navy have also dispatched their elite marine unit Marinestosstruppkommando "Großadmiral Ludwig Matern", to assist in any operations. The Dorvish Army has dispatched several units, notably the 10th Panzergrenadier Division, one of the most elite units in the Dorvish Armed Forces, the 23. Panzer-Division "Regismund", the 1. Gebirgsjäger-Division and 2. Gebirgsjäger-Division. The Dorvish Army already has components of its training and support divisions overseas which have been in Ostland for several years in a semi-permanent training and support mission. The Dorvish Army have also deployed the elite Stoßtruppengruppe II (Stormtrooper Group II) which was once a part of the Joint Headquarters of the Northern Council and has tactical and operational insight into the Kazulian Armed Forces. The Stoßtruppengruppe II includes the Stoßtruppenkommando IIa special forces unit, and the special forces armored formation known as the Schwere Stoßtruppen-Panzerkommando 101, a heavy armored battalion meant for intense combat operations.

The Dorvish Air Force will be deploying elements of the Jadggeschwader 11 (Fighter Group 11), Jadggeschwader 97 (Fighter Group 97), Schlachtgeschwader 17 (Bomber Group 17), Aufklärungsgeschwader 102 (Reconnaissance Group 102) and Transportgeschwader 177 (Transport Group 177). The Dorvish Air Force will also deploy the entirety of the 107. Fallschirmjäger-Division, the elite airborne arm of the Dorvish Armed Forces which have worked with Ostland to form their own elite airborne unit. Limited reports are that the Dorvish Special Forces will deploy units to Ostland but information related to special forces is incredibly limited and widely considered to be state secrets that are rarely declassified. Other notable sightings include units from the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Military Security Service and the State Security Main Office. The wide array of troops headed to Ostland have lead many to believe that Dorvik is posturing to defend against potential ally-turned-enemy Kazulia but also to assist in logistical and training support for Ostland, a now stalwart ally of the Dorvish Republic.

Liberal monarchist capture majority share of All-Dorvish League internal elections
September 4503

Haldor, Kordusia - A party coup was carried out inside of the All-Dorvish League with the nominal ruling coalition of Dorvish Democratic Party and Conservative People's Party factions losing to a surging new "Liberal Monarchist Party" which formed shortly after the party's lackluster performance in the July 4501 elections. The liberal monarchist were emboldened by the collapse of the Liberal Pragmatic Democratic party that collapsed during the summer of 4503 and saw the All-Dorvish League capture the top spot. Karl Ludwig von Lÿndow-Sennhein, the Deputy Chairman of the ADV, is the leader of the Liberal Monarchist Party and is widely seen as the favorite to rule alongside the likely to be restored King of Dorvik Leopold VII, who was recently announced to become the Kaiser of the Dundorfian Reich, a title that holds serious political implications and is the first to hold the title in several decades. While the new Liberal Monarchist Party is relatively new, many of its members are notable members of either the VDKV's Political Leadership Corps or have affiliation with other branches of the VDKV. The Liberal Monarchist faction has already announced a wide variety of sweeping changes, mostly economically removing many of the "trappings" of state-controlled economy that has long been favored in Dorvik. A notable component of the Liberal Monarchist is the presence of a large religious faction, a notable change for the ADV which has traditionally remained outside of religious politics except here and there. It is likely that the return of the monarchy will be heralded as a sign of good change due to the rise of monarchist, southern neighbor Luthori, which Dorvik is looking to expand ties with.

Numerous ADV politicians have signed on to remain but are likely to be changed over the course of a year with the rise of Karl Ludwig von Lÿndow-Sennhein; the new face of the All-Dorvish League. While many are asking what happened with the scion of the political dynasty, Volker Reigmsund von Rohr-Mauss, it is reported that he wanted to retire as he had achieved significant goals and was looking to help secure Dorvik in other ways. It is likely that veteran foreign statesman Eckhart Röhr, will stay on until he can find someone to succeed him. It should be noted that Matthias Horst von Bahr, was appointed as the State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Matthias is the descendant of legendary Dorvish statesmen Joachim von Bahr and former State Chancellor Wilhelm Franz von Bahr. Similarly while technically Minister of the Interior, Felix Leon von Auspitz-Topol has assigned most of his duties to his State Secretary for the Interior Thorsten Wilhelm von Pölzl, who is likely to take over the interior spot in the forthcoming Council of Ministers. Other notable changes will likely come to some of the smaller ministries such as science and technology, health and social services and others.

Many have asked what will happen with aging Minister of Defense Generaloberst Wilhelm Herschel and it is likely that he will retire at the announcement of a new Council of Ministers. Rumors are that two fellow Dorvish officers are in competition to succeed him, Admiral Ludwig von Prochnow, the current Fleet Commander of the Dorvish Navy and an active proponent of building a third Kaiser-class aircraft carrier as well as projecting Dorvish power via seapower and General (Air Force) Wolfhard Schwegler who is currently the Chief of the Air Operations Department of the Dorvish Air Force and likewise wishes to project Dorvish influence via the sea but much more focus on air mobile troops. Reports have surfaced that Admiral Ludwig von Prochnow has been seen in high level meetings with the King and Kaiser, as well as State Chancellor Karl Ludwig von Lÿndow-Sennhein, leading many to believe that the King and Kaiser will select the Admiral to lead Dorvik into this new era.
